Publisher's summary

Sometimes, the heart wants what it can't have. That's the motto Silas Mackenzie, the president of the Dixie Wardens MC, has lived by since he was a young man. Now, he's well on the way to middle age, has three grown children, and he's lusting after a woman from whom he should definitely stay away. Especially one who his ex-girlfriend had given birth to and happened to be only 27 years old.    

Sawyer isn't a young girl at heart, though. She's seen the inside of a jail cell for eight long years, and every one of them she spent paying for a crime she didn't commit. Silas Mackenzie knows as soon as he sees her the girl has sacrificed enough. And maybe...just maybe...so has Silas.    

It's time for Silas Mackenzie to get what he deserves and put a little bit of happy back into Sawyer's world, one rough, bearded kiss at a time.

Contains mature themes.

LOOVED THIS BOOK!

I loved this book! First of all, Mason Lloyd is great as the narrator and his voice fits the maturity level for Silas. Silas is a confident, older, intelligent but rugged biker/CIA asset that isn't looking for love until he meets Sawyer. Lidia did a great job as well. After being in prison for some years, Sawyer is adjusting to being on the outside and meets Silas. The two eventually click. Silas is very dominant and is in control of every aspect of his body. I enjoy reading about relationships with older males (as my husband is 20 years older than me) and this was the perfect listen! Great job Lani!

I LOVE, Love Mason Lloyd

This is one series where the Narrators match the book perfectly. Lani Lynn Vale is one of the best MC writers out there. Her characters are vivid and deep, every story unique in Ms. Vale's deep south universe.

Silas and Sawyer

So glad Silas got his own story! Sawyer went thru hell and came out strong enough to be the woman who takes his heart

Silas & Sawyer

Lani Lynn Vale never ceases to amaze me. This is another wonderful story in this series. I am so glad and happy we got Silas' story. Sure, Silas and Sawyer had an age difference.. but who care, you cannot deny their chemistry and their undeniable connection. I enjoyed this story.
Narration was perfection!

Probably my favorite of all the LLV books

I love Silas! He is my favorite character that LLV has created. Sawyer is great too. This story just keeps me hooked and keeps me wanting more!! Love it!

Narrators both did great jobs. I felt like I was listening to sawyer and Silas and not Lydia and Mason. That’s the work of truly great narrators!

A good one

Silas was such a presence in other books. I am happy to have his book now and that he found his lady, Sawyer. I loved it all, just wish the ending wasn’t so rushed. It was a good ending, just did not want it to end. I love reading books while listening to the audible. This one was great and the narrators were perfection. It’s going to be one I listen to frequently.

A great all round listen 👍

Not listened to anything by this author before. Found loads of her books included. This was my first book of hers.
Really happy with it. Great story, characters and excellent narration. Nothing not to like.
I’m off to listen to another of hers now.
Definitely recommend 👍

Treading the line

Usually I can not take dark stories. Rape being totally over the line of what my heart can take. This story was too close for comfort at times, while being enjoyable for other reasons. Threading the line of too much hurt. But finally staying on the side of a memorable story line and good reading.

Great story

Good story however the narrators were not my favorites and so it took away from the quality of the book in my opinion. I would definitely ready more from this author though.
